Police are trying to trace two women and a man who assisted a woman in distress following an incident in Southsea.

At around 7.10pm on Saturday, May 23 a 32-year-old woman was walking her dog along Eastern Esplanade near the Coffee Cup café when she noticed a man was following her. The man then exposed himself to her.

Feeling shocked and threatened by the mans actions, the victim approached a passing group of two women and an older man for help. The two women from this group immediately confronted the male.

“The woman walking her dog was very shaken by what happened – the people who helped her and confronted the offender showed great public spirit and we're hoping they'll come forward and assist us in identifying the individual concerned. If you were a member of this group, if you know them, or if you witnessed what happened, please get in touch with us as soon as possible.”
